Promoting your rights.
Young people around the world have their human rights listed in a document called the UN Convention on The Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which you can read more about in our illustrated guide.
These rights are for all children and young people under the age of 18 (but SCCYP also looks out for your rights if you are under 21 and have ever been 'looked after' or in care).
The "UN" part of UNCRC stands for the United Nations, which is a worldwide association of governments working together to make progress on issues like international law, human rights, and peace.
In Scotland, it's the job of Tam, your Commissioner, and everyone else in the SCCYP team, to promote and safeguard your rights under the UNCRC.
